Tea Tree Oil Treats Acne and Other Skin Problems

A traditional Australian folk remedy, Tea Tree Oil is from the native paperbark tree. The Aborigines used it to relieve many ailments and, because of its effectiveness, Tea Tree Oil was adopted by the general Australian population and then found its way to the rest of the world.

Tea Tree Oil is used topically (not taken orally), to remedy skin conditions such as acne, plantar warts, dandruff, hemorrhoids, sunburn and fever blisters - relieving not only the blisters, but the pain associated with them. Doctors believe that Tea Tree Oil has antibacterial, antifungal, and antiviral properties and stimulates the immune system.

People with acne have found that their skin was completely clear in about six months with daily treatments of Tea Tree Oil. Improvement can often be apparent within a day or two after beginning applications. Continued use has been found to prevent new acne breakouts.

Lotions, shampoos, moisturizers and creams containing Tea Tree Oil that you can find at the links I have listed can go a long way to allowing the Oil to be absorbed by the skin down to the cellular level, allowing the Tea Tree Oil to do its work!

You would do well to look at the fine products at the end of this link. These preparations include Tea Tree Oil as part of a total skin care regimen: Lasting Acne Relief. Shop GreatSkin.com! While you're there, complete FREE Skin Care Analysis questionnaire for recommendations.
